Are you struggling with life balance since your loved one has become ill? Are you now caring for an aging parent that didn't take care of you? Is talking with your family about your aging loved one challenging or stressful? As we age, so do our families of origin. Sometimes we are called back to our families of origin to help aging family members - like our siblings or parents. This can be challenging for many people. When we are called back to help, things like old wounds, family dysfunction and confusion on where to go for help can arise. Therapy can help bring clarity.
I specialize in helping individuals and families understand how to grow old and be caregivers in healthy ways. I believe individuals and families need support in later life and elderhood development. I respect what families and individuals decide to bring into to therapy by using non-judgmental communication and providing a safe space and environment.
I mostly approach my work using a foundational orientation based in systemic and family systems theories that understand the patterns and interactions of our current and generational relationships. Humor, compassion, curiosity, and intuition also guide me in my work.
